He wrote the script which is good. I saw the trailer which is stupid. I read an article where he talks politics and wish I didn't.

He used to be my favorite director for many years...until he sold out with AHoV and EP and then he made more shit movies.
Will this be a return to form??? I was hoping so....but damn this movie looks dumb as fuck.
PS I hope ear fucking is a misdemeanor in the future.



As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. With his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed… Their mission – to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution. Cannes Competition Official Selection 2022. Directed by David Cronenberg Starring Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux, and Kristen Stewart
 
Not sure what looks so bad about it. The trailer looks like exactly what I would expect if Videodrome era Cronenberg made a film 40 years later.

the multiple ears all over the dude. basically, any of these modifications look terrible.
Now compare that to this


Videodrome was my favorite movie for a long time. No one wants the "real" Cronenberg back more than me.... but I think it is too late for that. But hopefully I will be wrong.

PS I also read Cronenberg on Cronenberg. I was a huge fan...but I also say he is dead to me now..I also didn't expect him to make another movie and apparently he has another one after that.

Possessor was pretty good.

Agreed. That is his son (brandon) that directed that. One of the best movies of that year. I have some high hopes for Brandon although I did not finish Antiviral.
Possessor was fucking good...nice gore and violence and interesting premise

Lol, I got David and Brandon confused. I honestly thought the dad was dead. He's got to be old as fuck now!
